The patch was not intended to be proposed as a way to fix this problem, but as an indication of what the problem is. This issue is a dependency of issue #26865: Meta-issue: support of the android platform.

I should have posted instead the result of running 'python -m test -v test_asyncio' on an android emulator running an x86 system image at API level 21, which is:
